I am using handcent messaging app. I have a contact on my phone by the name of Repair Specialties. His name is Mike. I think when I first got my phone and copied my contacts from the Sim to the phone it put him as mike so I edited the contact and under First Name I put Repair Specialties.

When I'm using Hancent messaging app it shows the txt from Mike but if I go into the stock messaging app it shows the text from Repair Specialties. I then deleted the contact and created it again. All I have in the contact info is Repair Specialties for the First Name and his phone number. I also selected a catagory. I did no other input into the contact info.

Now it is reversed when I go into Handcent it show Repair Specialties and when I go into the stock messaging app it show Mike.

I deleted the contact just now and in both messaging apps it show the txt from Mike.

This is no big deal. I'm curious as to what is causing all this...



Thanks
Jim

Do you happen to have the contacts on both the SIM and the phone itself?  It sounds like the messaing programs are finding the number somewhere still and associating it with "Mike."  Others have reported problems having the programs discern between the different places contacts are normally stored.

My similar problem (a nonissue) is that in chomp sms, my contacts use facebook pictures, not the contact pics I have set up for them.
